Being a child of the 80’s I was shocked and saddened with the news that Michael Jackson passed away yesterday at 50. I first came across this information via TMZ  “Michael Jackson Dies” post, I literally had to stop and wonder if this was some sort of sick joke. I don’t know why, I know he has recently fallen into the “Celebrity Koo-Koo Club” but his inspiration and legacy in music cannot be denied or ignored. Michael Jackson suffered a fatal cardiac arrest and died on June 25, 2009.
He will be missed and is cherished in the hearts of many. Rest in Peace Michael!

Young Michael in the Jackson 5 

Michael Jackson - The King of Pop 

Looking back on my childhood I was pretty lucky with regards to theme parks. I grew up in the Los Angeles area, within easy driving distance to three major parks. Each had it’s own personality, and I loved them all. Though for different reasons. Everyone knows however that when it comes to roller coasters and intense thrill rides, Six Flags Magic Mountain was the place to be.

Well recently Six Flags declared Chapter 11 (Bankruptcy) after failing to reach a deal with lenders on a 2.4 billion in debt. The bankruptcy is likely to significantly reduce the value of the shared held by owner Daniel M. Snyder and other in the chain BUT states: “This action to clean up the balance sheet paves the way for a full revival of the company. We inherited an unsustainable $2.4billion debt load from the previous management team.”

Let’s all release a collective sigh of relief, shall we? With all the bad news floating around these days the loss of one of my childhood theme parks would have been the final nail in my coffin.
However with the economy and market the way it is I would definitely not pass up an opportunity or two to visit the adventure park. Six Flags has locations all over the country, each sporting their own attractions. There are new coasters and other fun planned for Six Flags’ 2009 season, as well as a focus on discount tickets, season pass promotions, and other incentives to help families and theme park fans continue to have fun during the current economic climate. So what’s going on with Six Flags across the country this summer. Well hold on to your hats and glasses, I’m here to tell you!

Six Flags Magic Mountain (Valencia, CA)- Terminator: Salvation This spring Magic Mountain added a new attraction to it’s already wonderful lineup. The Terminator: Salvation is a roller coaster of wooden construction that promises to transport it’s riders to a dystopian future to battle evil intelligent robots. By all accounts a great addition, and well worth checking out.

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom (Vallejo, CA)- Odin’s Temple of the Tiger An exciting new exhibit that will showcase the park’s 11 tigers including Odin, the internationally-acclaimed white Bengal tiger and two recently acquired tiger cubs. Guests will have several opportunities throughout the day to visit Odin’s Temple of the Tiger and experience the strength and beauty of these animals up close. Multiple shows will take place each day and during off-show hours the theater will serve as an outdoor exhibit for the park’s tigers. This exciting new attraction will demonstrate tigers’ natural behaviors and highlight their affinity for water and agility on land.

Six Flags Over Georgia (Austell, GA)- Monster Mansion The Monster Plantation has been a staple at this park since 1981. This year it has received a makeover and relaunches as Monster Mansion. The new voyage will features a slate of surprises, including new characters, music, and storyline. In addition, many of the original monsters have returned to the Mansion.

Six Flags Great America (Gurnee, IL)- Buccaneer Battle A new pirate-themed water attraction that incorporates lighting, music, dialogue, costumes, set design and special effects - launching guests on a voyage through a three-dimensional pirate world.

Six Flags Over New England (Agawam, MA)- Bizarro The transformed Superman: Ride of Steel has become Bizarro, a multi-sensory ride experience that will take you to another dimension of thrill. Known for his clumsy and destructive attempts to emulate Superman, everything in Bizarro’s world is twisted and backwards. The Bizarro experience begins the moment you enter the ride queue line through a custom-created comic book story. Climb aboard the newly-designed coaster cars with custom built audio in the headrest. After a menacing climb, plunge 221 feet into the first of two fog-filled tunnels to launch into Bizarro’s twisted world.

Six Flags Great Escape (Queensbury, NY)- Sasquatch Discover the beast they call Sasquatch. Based on the infamous mythological creature, Sasquatch is a legendary drop ride with two 19-story steel towers. You’ll be shot to the top in less than three seconds. But it doesn’t end there. Once you reach the highest point, you’ll be rocketed downward with a 2 G-force before experiencing a series of air-cushioned bounces up and down the tower.

Hahaha! Are you just chomping at the bit to get to Six Flags this summer? Oh, I am right there with you! Six Flags Coupons anyone? Let’s GO!

I have been one to always place a premium on travel. I usually find a way to make, at the very least, one major excursion a year. However this summer I will not get the opportunity. It’s ok, I’ve accepted it. Rather than making my own plans I can shoot all of you some helpful ideas however. While checking out our summer travel coupons, I noticed Orbitz is offering savings of up to 40% on Canadian vacations. Oh Canada. I’ve been wanting to travel up to Canada for a couple of years now, so decided to get some ideas together on where to travel if The Great White North was in one’s future (hey it’s not snowy and white during the summer, no parkas required!).

Toronto - Although not the national capital, Toronto is the Ontario provincial capital and probably the best-known city in Canada, in large part due to the Toronto International Film Festival and its popularity as a theatre destination. Toronto is comparable to Chicago or New York in that all are big, lively, multicultural cities that offer a lot to visitors. This is a city with a rich heritage that is still apparent in its architecture but has also grown to include diverse, ethnic neighborhoods that thrive in the cities center.

Niagra Falls - While in Ontario and on Canada’s east coast I would definitely visit Niagra Falls, one of the great natural wonders of the world. You can find it just a couple hours drive south of Toronto. Niagara Falls, Ontario, in Canada, is home to the Horseshoe Falls, the most powerful waterfall in North America and possibly the best-known in the world - truly a sight to behold. Niagara Falls is probably best known as a honeymoon destination, attracting millions of newlywed or just plain romantic couples each year. Just remember that attempting to go over the falls in a barrel is not only out of fashion, it is strictly forbidden.

Montreal - Oh yes, one must visit Montreal. The city of Montreal has a history dating back to 1642 when settlers from France landed at the edge of St. Lawrence River. Montreal is unique among cities in North America, comparable perhaps only to New Orleans in the depth and the pervasiveness of its European history. Visitors can enjoy a modern city with all its conveniences, outstanding shopping and dining, but also get a taste of Europe and a glimpse back into Canada’s rich French heritage.

Quebec City - Quebec’s provincial capital, Quebec City, is steeped in history and European in flavor. Quebec City offers an experience unlike almost any other in North America. Quebec City’s Old Town itself is a work of art: Cobblestone walkways, well-preserved 17th century architecture, café culture and the only North American fortress walls that still exist north of Mexico — all of which has given it status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site

Vancouver - On the south west coast of British Columbia, Canada’s most westerly province, Vancouver is one of Canada’s hottest travel destinations. Vancouver is surrounded both by water and mountains and really holds an appeal to lover’s of outdoor adventure. That being said, this is also a cosmopolitan city that also has upscale shopping, fabulous restaurants and a happening nightlife. I’ve been to Vancouver, it is a seriously cool town. I heartily recommend it.

While the chaps from South Park make me laugh, I don’t share their views on Canada! Go enjoy yourselves.
